Re: WML deck size limitation...

Hi,

Thanks for the descriptive response. 
I couldn't understand what exactly your meant by using
a variable instead of a frequently occuring link. Do
you mean a variable in WMLScript ? How does it help in
reducing the length of the WML deck ? 

My understanding is that even if I am using a variable
'x', finally when the compiled WML code of the deck is
being sent to the device, it will contain the actual
value, e.g. the URL in that variable. 

Please correct me where am I going wrong.

Also can you refer me to any link where I can get more
information about the deck size limit of various
popular cellphone models.

Regards,
Ashwini
